A little glimpse into our Holi celebrations from last Sunday. đ Colours in the air, dhol in the background, and the best energy all around.
So grateful to everyone who joined us and made the day unforgettableđ
Chromatic Topographics explores how the colours red, green, and blue shape the way I understand urban space. The project focuses on the boroughs of London.
Having grown up in India, where colour is embedded in the everyday landscape, I initially experienced Londonâs architecture as grey, industrial, and highly organised. Within this man-altered, concrete-heavy, and often brutalist environment, I began noticing small but striking moments of red, green, and blue that slowly reshaped how I saw the city.
Using RGB, the digital foundation of the camera, I approach colour as both structure and emotion. Through a frontal and direct photographic style, I document ordinary, banal, and industrial spaces, transforming overlooked corners into places marked by rhythm, colour, and meaning.
Thank you to everyone who came to see the work, and for the creative inputs, conversations and support!
âMirror Marketsâ is a conceptual and visual study of cultural reconstruction through a diasporic perspective. The images are presented as diptychs, each pairing one image from Aminabad Road in Lucknow, India and the other from Green Street, London, United Kingdom.
The audience is invited to rethink the concept of space to decipher which frame corresponds to which city.
The images showcase market spaces selling products that are the same yet arranged in a different space, miles apart, even though the space where the products are displayed serves the same purpose. Visually, the images have vibrant
colours, rich and detailed textures, chaotic beauty, and retail excess, resonating the visuals with each other.
Beneath the surface lies a contextual difference, one that is based on the idea of migration, gentrification and adaption, while the other finds its roots in nostalgia and ancestral memory.
A deep sense of familiarity rooted in my upbringing in Lucknow brought me to Green Street. The shabby, crowded yet lively shopfronts, the sensory and spatial overload of merchandise, the chaos and conversations, and the vast array of colours reminded me of Aminabad, where commerce, tradition, culture, and the mundanity of human life
collide.
The work aims not to record differences but rather showcase to the audience the continuity of cultural
memory across international borders.
My field trips to respective places made me rethink the photographersâ role in the market spaces and how they shape diasporic identity, reflecting upon the idea of people carrying fragments of home into new spaces.
The diaspora does not merely adapt to a new space but reshapes its concept of âHomeâ.

From elite athletes to wheelchair racers and everyday heroes, every stride told a story. Along the sidelines, cheers, homemade signs, and shared moments reflected the heart of a city in motion.
